Yes I've seen a few stock rom users confirmed it worked on LTE. Did you see those replies in the original post? If using this tether method is the only reason for you to flash your rom then that's not necessary.

What to do after rooting... that's... a little hard to answer; it depends on your needs. If you are fine with your g2 performance then why bother changing it :) That said, I believe installing backup tools for restoring user data/system settings is always a safe practice, especially for hones like g2 without external sdcard. A system recovery method such as nandroid backup is also used for those who compare and switch between roms or like to try some new things that could brick the phone.

IMHO, you might want to play with it on stock rom for a while, as browsing through the likes/dislikes and tweaks/fixes/mods/roms here and there, and then you'll see if any features need to be changed/added and worth the time to change - sure there are a lot of great work made or collected here.:good:
[Sprint LG G2] cozmohoot:
Once again I appreciate it!

Ur saying this hotspot should work right after rooting? When I wrote what to do after I root I actually meant how to get hotspot to work :)

Your info was helpful either way..

For now I don't need to mess with roms etc,, only needing the hotspot
[Sprint LG G2] cozmohoot:
Can anybody chime in
[Sprint LG G2] jamman77:
hoot,

Make sure your wifi is on, go into system settings, on that menu page, the first section(don't remember the name, don't have my phone atm) there is a "more". Go in there and you'll see where to turn on hotspot. click on. tada!
[Sprint LG G2] cozmohoot:
Thanks. Any specific root method to use? From all my reading it seemed more complicated than that.
[Sprint LG G2] jamman77:
No, it isn't that simple. You need to follow the instructions on rooting your phone and installing the apk mod to workaround the wifi tether. Go back and read all the info in this and the related posts. If you don't want to root, then this isn't the answer for you. Wait a month or two and there might be a better answer. This isn't perfect, but it allows you to have some wireless tethering. I'm no guru. I had someone with much more experience help me as we tried to make it even more simple (sprint and lg weren't going to let that happen) so we had to back up and go the regular route.

Hope that gives you some idea.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yes correct the bootlaoader has been locked since the mf3 firmware the previous firmware before this...safestrap is a work around that doesn't mess with the stock ROM slot and you are able to flash only 4.2.2 Roms with safestrap. Since your on the LEAKED version on 4.3 there is no other options at the moment besides rooting and the root apps like wanam xposed, xposed installer, nottach xposed. Etc. People on Verizon hasn't found anything yet about unlocking the boot loader so until the official 4.3 releases for us just check both the Verizon thread and our at&t thread.

[Moto X Q&A] shiftedx:
Lets me start by saying I know exactly how to use ADB and fastboot.

So I installed the ATT 4.4 Leak update using fastboot flasing system.img and boot.img. I read that there was an OTA update so of course I rushed to see if I could get the prompt and install the update. Charged my phone up to 25% and continued with the install, I got stuck in an infinite reboot... now I can access the fastboot menu but as soon as I plug in a usb cable either to my PC or my wall charger the phone powers down and re enters the reboot cycle.

I can also get the phone to boot up by going to the "factory" option in the fastboot menu this gets me booted up into 4.4 with an unsuccessful update prompt and no cellular service but with wifi available.

anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Special Scenario #1

If you are running the stock ROM, rooted, with a custom kernel, and you want to retain root after the OTA; follow this great detailed walkthrough by @Lettuce!

If it helps you, make sure you thank him on the original post, located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48212456&postcount=268

1) downloaded factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead

2) extract the tgz, the tar within that, then extract the the zip within that to get the system.img and boot.img files

3) moved these two files into the adb folder (for the fastboot/adb method)

4) download Latest SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

5) put SuperSU.zip on your phone's internal storage

6) download the 4.4.1 OTA update zip from http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49E-from-KRT16M.7ed504f6.zip

7) rename it to ota.zip

8) move ota.zip onto your phone's internal storage

9) boot into bootloader

10) open command prompt from your adb folder

11) connect USB cable

12) type 'fastboot devices' to check the connection

13) type 'fastboot flash system system.img'

14) type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

15) use volume and power buttons to boot into recovery (TWRP)

16) install ota.zip

17) install latest SuperSu.zip

18) clear dalvik and cache

19) reboot phone

Scenario #2: Will I receive a message ?

Thanks for this thread. It's just what I've been trying to figure out.

So, if I'm Scenario #2, will I received a message on the phone when the OTA is available? Can I let it download then install through TWRP ?

If I'm reading correctly, the custom recovery will not let it install automatically (and maybe I don't want it to since it could wipe out TWRP). On reboot will TWRP prompt me to root the phone (that's how I got to root the first time).
[Nexus 5 General] BirchBarlow:
If you're rooted, but with stock ROM, do you know for sure OTA updates won't go through? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
I believe the new versions of recovery will ask to keep the custom recovery and/or root. We'll see how the custom recoveries handle the OTA on the N5 and I'll update the post accordingly.

It all depends on how you gained root access. If you used cf-super boot it will not go through because it modifies the kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
What about cf auto root? From the description it looks like that only adds the root apps and nothing else.
[Nexus 5 General] BirchBarlow:
WHen you say cf-super boot you mean installing SuperSU through TWRP right? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Cf-auto root and super su should be fine as they don't modify the kernel.

Flashed boot.img successfully, and went to flash system.img. Well, fastboot has been stuck at "writing 'system'..." for about 15 minutes, and the phone is just sitting at the bootloader. When I initiated the command, there was a line of green text stating "flashing..." or "writing..." at the bottom of the bootloader, but it has since disappeared.

[Nexus 5 General] pyroguysf:
Couldn't explicitly find anything on it, but for section D (flashing the boot/system/radio images), do you take them from the factory image you're currently on (4.4.3 in this case), or the new updated one (4.4.4)?

My gut tells me either way, or does it have to be 4.4.3 since that's what the OTA checks for before applying itself? Thanks (helping a friend, new to the rapid Nexus updates).
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If I was doing it I'd flashboot flash the images from 4.4.4. Then there's no reason to take the ota as you're already updated
[Nexus 5 General] solarspeed:
I re-rooted by flashing SuperSU v2.00 zip with TWRP, never tried autoroot script.
[Nexus 5 General] pyroguysf:
Makes sense, thanks. Bypassing the OTA and fastboot flashing the relevant new images (minus recovery, so you don't overwrite a custom one) would theoretically work in any situation then? Also, using a custom kernel, is there a reason to flash the stock boot.img since you're bypassing the OTA checks by flashing the full images directly, or can you just reflash the kernel zip after the system image? I feel like a noob, but I just like to really understand what's going on and how it all works.

Unless I'm mistaken, with custom kernel, root, and no mods, I'd be all set if I fastboot flash radio/system, reflash kernel/SuperSU, and wipe cache/dalvik, correct?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yep, you should be all set. No need to flash boot.img if you have a custom kernel. You might have to update the kernel however as it might not compatible with 4.4.4
[Nexus 5 General] Cyvasse:
Just to report that I also had lost my philz recovery after flashing 4.4.3 and again after 4.4.4. OTA.
